Re: Resources in Texarkana

[Guest guest]

I found this info:

Temple Memorial Rehabilitation

Center<http://east-texas.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=TXEA_locations\

>in

Texarkana, TX, was originally created to address the polio epidemic in

the early 1950s. Now that

autism<http://autism.healingthresholds.com/glossary#term105>is

considered an epidemic, Temple provides early

intervention <http://autism.healingthresholds.com/glossary#term306>,

occupation, speech, and physical therapies. Their goal " is to try to make

the services available to people *regardless of their ability to pay*. "

I just had a quick second to look this up, but will try to help you find

more resources later... Hang in there - There are many people here to

support you. How old is your son?
